Well you may not be surprised to see Emily Giovannithere...you all know her....she is the Color Challenge Queen! I'm super excited to be in this for the next six months with her! I can't wait to get to know her better!!

I had the hardest time keeping this HUGE secret and I had to flat out LIE to Jennifer Meyer a couple of weeks ago on the phone....sorry Jennifer...hope you can forgive me ;)

Onto my cards!

This first one was for Monday's Try a New Technique. Beate had written a fabulous tutorial on SCS for this GRID technique. It's super easy but gives wonderful results. I'd gotten my new SU! stuff last week and wanted to give them a whirl. I'm not sure I like the new colours just yet...

Julee had her Mojo sketch posted first thing Monday morning and I couldn't wait to get at it. I had this monkey already stamped and coloured from another project I'd been working on. He is so adorable! These Summertime Fun stamps from CC Designs can be purchased at All That Scraps.

CONGRATULATIONS, girlie! I was so excited when I found out you were picked, and I'm still excited (note how early I'm up today??..hehe!). You're an awesome addition to the dirt pile, you're super talented, and are so deserving. Big Hugs to ya, Dawn!!

I think I like new colors, I especially like the new dp, this card is nice. Julee's sketch card is cute as well. I tried last night but was too tired to get the circles balanced. I try again later in the week. Maybe it was me / not the card off balance! HA!

HEY DAWN !!! I just went to SCS a few minutes ago and was so excited to see the Dirty Dozen was open and imagine my wonderful surprise to see that you are the newest member !!!! Congratulations, girlie !!!! I'm so happy for you !!!! Way to go :)

Dawn, I heard you yelling and had to come over to make sure you were all right! WOWZERS!! Congratulations to you! Fabulous news! - but of course - what took "them" so long!!?? haha! Aren't secrets like that just wonderful??!! In a sadistic sort of way!

Oh girl! I am so super excited for you! :D You deserve it! Your work is always amazing and I am (obviously) not the only one who notices! Hehe! I just can't tell you how excited I am for you! :D Congratulations! Also, I love both of your cards! I too can't decide if I like the new in colors or not. They definitely didn't catch my eye right away. Hopefully over time I will start to love them! Both of your cards are fantastic though! I love your monkey card! That dp is fantastic and your coloring is wonderful!

Congratulations on your new assignment to the Dirty Girls! You so deserve it. I am a daily blurfer of your blog, and enjoy everything you post. Fortunately, I AM a Fan Club member, so I am off to see all of your wonderful creations for this month, and will look forward to your future creations there, too.

So can I finally say I told you so again (see here: http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2007/12/this-one-is-from-diane-dd2njoy.html)...you even laughed at my prediction. I am so darn omniscient, I scare me! See, you were always a dirty girl (they just didn't know that I had already nominated you for the title!).

Congrats to you Dawn! I've been following your work for some time... back when you weren't on any design team and now look .... design teams and a dirty girl! I did see the gallery and love what you created this month.

Such an exciting day for you, Dawn! You were BORN to be a Dirty Girl !!!! I know you're going to have a BLAST in the prestigous role! There are so many stampers out there that admire your work ... you are truly a leader in the industry! These cards are why! They're incredible!

Congrats Dawn!! No worries about the hitting the reject button :) because I could leave a 100 comments on your site everyday because your cards always make me so happy and make me go "WOW"! You've got great style Ms.Dawn! You will make the Dirty Dozen proud!!! Much love,Sankari :)

OMG!!! I was sooooo happy for you when I signed on to SCS today! I can't think of a dirtier girl than you! (you know what I mean) They won't be sorry to have such talent on their team! BTW, I grew up in Edmonton but I now live in Québec. I still love the Eskies but have been since converted to a Habs Fan. I hope you won't hold it against me! LOL! Go HABS go! Congrats on your fantastic news! You rule!

OMG! YEAH!! Dawn Im like a proud mama! LOL! I have seen you grow into such a fabulous stamper, and am so proud of you! The dirty girl status is well earned. Have fun because the time will FLY by.Now I hope to get some time to go check out the DD gallery! How exciting. CONGRATS and hugs my friend!!

Dawn ~ wooooo-hoooooo for you!!! OMG, how exciting is that! Being a Dirty girl is a well deserved honor for you. Your work is amazing and you will have no trouble at all fitting in with the ultimate design team...the dirty dozen!!! You go girl :0)!!!!!

The stamps with the quotes on them are really cool....and I love that summery look with the red, white, green and the DREAMS sentiment. I guess I really love the red look for summer like those cherry ones you had done before.
